ZTE’s forthcoming flagship phone with 5-inch 1080p screen pictured

We’ve already told you about ZTE’s upcoming Nubia Z5 smartphone, which will propel the Chinese company to the higher end of the market. Well, we’re glad to have first images to show you. As you’re about to see from our small gallery, this is one fancy device, sporting a slick uni-body chassis and a thin, 7.6mm profile. We also know what’s under the hood – the ZTE Nubia Z5 (or however it ends up calling) will have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 5-inch 1080p screen and a 13-megapixel camera on the back.

When it comes to the announcement date, that could happen as early as next week though as far as we’ve heard, China will be the first market to get the new phone with other countries most likely to follow next year. We’ll let you know when we hear something new on this…
